Building on the success of the first edition, UMTS Networks second edition allows readers to continue their journey through UMTS up to the latest 3GPP standardization phase, Release 5. Containing revised, updated and brand new material, it provides a comprehensive view on the UMTS network architecture and its latest developments. Accompanied by numerous illustrations, the practical approach of the book benefits from the authors’ pioneering research and training in this field. Provides a broad yet detailed overview of the latest worldwide developments in UMTS technology. Includes brand new sections on the IP Multimedia Subsystem and High Speed Downlink Packet Access according to 3GPP Release 5 specifications. Contains heavily revised sections on the evolution from GSM to UMTS Multi-access, the UMTS Radio Access Network, the UMTS Core Network and services. Includes updated versions on services in the UMTS environment, security in the UMTS environment and UMTS protocols. Illustrates all points with cutting-edge practical examples gleaned from the authors’ research and training at the forefront of UMTS. The illustrative, hands-on approach will appeal to operators, equipment vendors, systems designers, developers and marketing professionals who require comprehensive, practical information on the latest developments in UMTS. This second edition will also benefit students and researchers in the field of mobile networking.

An invaluable reference discussing the Generic Authentication Architecture (GAA), its infrastructure, usage and integration into existing networks Cellular Authentication for Mobile and Internet Services introduces the reader into the field of secure communication for mobile applications, including secure web browsing with a phone or PC, Single Sign-On (SSO), mobile broadcast content protection, secure location services, etc. The book discusses the Generic Authentication Architecture (GAA) of the mobile standardization body 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) and its American counterpart 3GPP2 in full detail and with all variants. It explains the usage of GAA by various standardization bodies and standardized applications, and also looks at a number of non-standardized ones, such as secure remote login to enterprise environment and card personalization. Cellular Authentication for Mobile and Internet Services: Describes the usage of the generic authentication architecture (GAA) by various standardization bodies and standardized applications, covering mobile broadcast / multicast service security, Single Sign-On, HTTPS (i.e. secure web browsing), secure data access, secure location services, etc Provides guidance on how to integrate the generic authentication into existing and future terminals, networks and applications Explains the functionality of the application security in general as well as on application developer level Describes various business scenarios and related security solutions, and covers secure application implementation and integration Brings together essential information (currently scattered across different standardization bodies) on standards in one comprehensive volume This excellent all-in-one reference will provide system and protocol designers, application developers, senior software project managers, telecommunication managers and ISP managers with a sound introduction into the field of secure communication for mobile applications. System integrators, advanced students, Ph.D. candidates, and professors of computer science or telecommunications will also find this text very useful.

A concise, updated guide to the 3GPP LTE SecurityStandardization specifications A welcome Revised Edition of the successful LTE Securityaddressing the security architecture for SAE/LTE, which is based onelements of the security architectures for GSM and 3G, but whichneeded a major redesign due to the significantly increasedcomplexity, and different architectural and business requirementsof fourth generation systems. The authors explain in detailthe security mechanisms employed to meet these requirements. Thespecifications generated by standardization bodies only informabout how to implement the system (and this only to the extentrequired for interoperability), but almost never inform readersabout why things are done the way they are. Furthermore,specifications tend to be readable only for a small group ofexperts and lack the context of the broader picture. The book fillsthis gap by providing first hand information from insiders whoparticipated in decisively shaping SAE/LTE security in the relevantstandardization body, 3GPP, and can therefore explain the rationalefor design decisions in this area. A concise, fully updated guide to the 3GPP LTE SecurityStandardization specifications Describes the essential elements of LTE and SAE Security,written by leading experts who participated in decisively shapingSAE/LTE security in the relevant standardization body, 3GPP Explains the rationale behind the standards specificationsgiving readers a broader understanding of the context to thesespecifications Includes new chapters covering 3GPP work on system enhancementsfor MTC, plus application layer security in ETSI TC M2M andembedded smart card in ETSI SCP; Security for Machine-typeCommunication, Relay Node Security, and Future Challenges,including Voice over LTE, MTC, Home base stations,LIPA/SIPTO, and New Cryptographic Algorithms Essential reading for System engineers, developers and people intechnical sales working in the area of LTE and LTE security,communication engineers and software developers in mobilecommunication field.
